AS IMPORTANT DECISION.
A Question Affect ing Notaries Public and
Ex-Ofllcio'Justices of the Peace in Gtur-
The decision recently rendered by
our Supreme Court in the case of
Tarply vs. Corpul is one of very gen
eral interest. It is here held that the
court of a notary public and ex-officio
justice of the peace held on the fourth
Tuesday of the month was not a legal
court, because the justice’s court for
that district had been already held
for that month, on the second Tuess
day, at the regular lime and place by
the elected justice of the peace for
t at district. The court aaye: - > “Be-
ture the constitution of 1868, but odc
justice court could be lu Id in a dis
trict, and at but one place. That con
stitution gave justices of the peace
the right to sit at any time they
pleased for the trial of cases.’’ Code
5104. *
The Constitution of 1877 declares
that they shall sit monthly, at fixed
time and places. “Notaries public,
not to exceed one for each district,
may be appointed, and shall be ex-
officio justices of the peace.”—Sup. to
Code, 632—0. 4.
It is not provided in the Constitu
tion that notaries public shall sit at
all as n court, but an act was passed
at the session of 1S79 enabling them
to hold court monthly, and at fixed
time and places. Under the Consti
tution of 1877 there can he hut two
magistrates authorized to act as jus
tices of the peace in one district—the
one a justice of the peace eo nomine,
the other a justice ol the peaee'rfrtufe
officii— by virtue < f office ns a notary.
So under the old system there were
two justices of the peuee in each dis
trict, and they sited eases separately
and kept Separate dockets, hut the
court was held at one time and place,

WOMEN WHO TIPPLE.

I would not go so far as to say that
New York ladies drink to excess, sup
posing that public drihking is permis
sible in a lady at all. But 1 do say

Alary’s mother died a Green
wich, September 27, 1827, at an ad
vanced age, and aftir Mary’s death
: wo letters were received by her from
Burns which, unfortunately for pos
terity, she destroyed, giving as the
reason that she could never road them
w ithout shedding tears.
The Bible in two volumes given to
alary by Burns is still preserved in
Iter family, ami the following passages
of Scripture wa re written by iiim on
their fly-leaves—on one, “ Thou shall
not swear by my name falsely I am
the Lord’’—(Leviticus, chapter xix.,
| verse 12) ; on the other, “Thou shall
not forswear thy-elf, hut pertorm unto
the Lord thy—(or, according to some,
“all thy”)—vows”—(St. Matthew,
chapter v., verse 33) If the latter
text had been correctly quoted as
w ritten, then Burns, either from hav
ing written only from memory or in
tentionally, has altered it, the true
reading being:
1S77 to restore

This decision is a surprise toll e pro
tension and the public. It has always
been considered that the ex-officio
justice and elected justice were on-

practice has been in vogue ever since

fierceness of the tiger, which returned

serious wound on the neck of the
buffalo. Again the tiger was thrown
off, and the buffalo succeeded in giv

battle went on, neither seeming ’ to
